— There is a simple, powerful antidote to the core problematic emotions that fester within your heart: self- love. Self-love is the key that opens the door of consciousness transformation; because of this, much of Simon’s, Self Salutation’s work is rooted in connecting you to your capacity for self-love. Once you have tended to your negative feelings in this way, the Self Salutation then offers you a means to reestablish yourself in a healthy stance toward others and life.

Valeria interviews Simon Timm — He is the author of  “An Introduction to the Self Salutation: A Mindfulness Meditation Series.”

Simon Timm is a mindfulness and meditation teacher and the author of the book An Introduction to the Self Salutation: How to Resolve Negative Emotions Through Mindfulness Meditation. Simon spent most of his college years battling depression. Unwilling to spend the rest of his life on medication, he searched for another way of living with himself after college. The way he found was meditation. Simon moved into a Hindu ashram and spent sixteen years as a monk. When he left the monastic life in 2011, he recognized the need for a meditation practice to help resolve the negative feelings within him—rather than just help lift above them. This prompted him to explore different modalities of personal transformation and ultimately to develop the Self Salutation. He also earned a Masters in Religion from Yale at that time. Simon currently lives with his spouse, Allyson, in the Washington, DC metro area.
